During a period when most educational games were about rote learning, the third Dr. Brain game taught thinking skills instead, like spatial reasoning, organization, and task management. While a big chunk of the minigames don't land well (the Synaptic Cleft ranching game is a bust), the game respects the player's time and intelligence and lets you tweak the games' complexity without any penalties. Big points for trying something big and for making it so lively and animated.

Hubris! Midway's brief attempt to milk the rights to Pac-Man resulted in this picture-puzzle game that would be barely passable as bartop entertainment. Craven exploitation of an IP at the level of Urkel-Os or Big Bang Theory slot machines.

The rotating dial is an interesting addition to Bishi Bashi with lots of potential, but it's harder to pick up, play, and understand than the traditional three-button layout. It's still Bishi Bashi and therefore still a riot. A worthwhile experiment, at least.
